Helvetica Art of Simplicity

The Helvetica font is one of the world’s most famous, popular and versatile fonts. It has been used in countless projects. It is popular because it performs what is needed efficiently. Its design embodies the concept that fonts should facilitate readability, and that clear communication is their main goal. In the Art of Simplicity workshop, we will discuss Helvetica as an example of font design and analysis and its impact on the World around us.

The creative work of designer Issey Miyake was based from the start on a fundamental principle called ‘A Piece Of Cloth’. A principle which explores the relationship between our body and the cloth that shields it, and the relationship between them. In the Fashion Engineering workshop, we will discuss the manufacturing process and its different applications that go beyond the fashion world. We will also exhibit a collection of unconventional materials used in textile manufacturing, and the influence of societies on identity of fashion.
